    Goju ryu is the style that inspired and popularized the karate kid film/cobra kai series and it is also the father of kyokushin

      And it's weird because the three influences of the choreography werent of that karate style. Pat Johnson, the main choreographer was a Tang Soo Do 4th degree black belt. Darryl Vidal was a black belt in Kenpo Karate. Lastly, Fumio Demura, Pat Morita's stunt double, was a 9th degree black belt in shito ryu karate.

      You bring up a fair point, however the guy who wrote the script, Robert Mark Kamen, is a life long Goju Ryu practitioner. He wrote a lot about his life into the characters. Kreese is based on two American instructors that he felt were too militant and aggressive. Miyagi is partially based on his instructor that taught him Goju Ryu and was in many ways like Miyagi in real life. His knowledge of the art is where the influences come into the film. Less so in the show (he didn't write the show). Cobra Kai has a mixture of choreography.

      @@ArtofOneDojo wait, Dan. I also forgot to mentioned about the White Crane being the inspiration of Karate. Since karate is comes from Chinese Kung Fu. They are so many karate styles were heavily derived from chinese kung fu and shaolin monk style. Plus, there is a Chinese Documentary video about a Chinese program series talked about white crane and the origins of Goju ryu Karate comes from Chinese Kung Fu. I forgot the name of the documentary video. I think it is called "Kung Fu Quest". I hope i said that right. You can check that out and search that title. Karate was one of these episodes.

    Goju-Ryu is definitely the most profound, brutal and practical tradition of Karate. I experienced (a specific version of ) Shurite through practicing Shito-Ryu which is perhaps the most comprehensive style and then went for full-contact sparring in Kyokushin and Muay Thai but it never felt the same, as rooted and deadly as in Goju-Ryu.

      @@gqloc6768 Goju Ryu uses defense as an offense, but everyone’s way of using karate/any martial art is different. Asian martial arts focus a lot on repetition and being patient so you can understand how the basics can develop into higher levels. Sparring helps a lot and it is a fallacy/false statement that none of the traditional arts spar at all. Check this video: ruclips.net/video/63c3KwGQT4I/видео.html

    Excellent episode on the art. I'd like to add that Patrick McCarthy's book "The legend of the fist" has some rather interesting details on Myiagi Sensei and other notable masters. Myiagi Sensei was not in favor of ranks and belts. He also modified Sanchin to exclude turns, where as the original Sanchin kata as brought by Higashionna Kanryō Sensei, does have turns and is slightly different.

    • @donoberloh
      @donoberloh 4 месяца назад

      True about his disdain for ranks and Nihon kurobi. He also never approved of being called Miyagi, Sensei. It’s not just a faux pax, it insults the very man people are trying to say they respect. Remember Miyagi was born, raised, and died a staunch Uchinanchuu.

But out of the previous martial arts I've trained in (Kickboxing, Goju Ryu Karate, Taiho Jitsu and Judo), I would say Goju is my second favourite martial arts so far, along side Krav Maga. Even though my main goal has always been self defense, and Krav Maga has filled that gap for me, I feel Goju has given me a good understanding in body mechanics. And I really enjoyed learning about joint locks.

But to me it's about bettering oneself and surpassing limitations. All forms have people who perform amazing feats for a human being which are only attained through hard work, discipline, and patience. To me, it's all about self-improvement and can be utilized for everything in life. Yes, you learn to defend yourself. But I believe there's far more to it

    What an insightful and superb, well chronicled introduction to the introduction of Goju-Ryu Karate. As a dedicated practitioner of Kyokushinkaikan Karate, this is very important to me, as it is like Shotokan Karate, an important and integral part, of the foundation of our style. Hence why ourselves in Kyokushin Karate have the hard, linear techniques of Shotokan, with yet again the combined linear as well as soft, circular techniques of Goju-Ryu Karate.
    I really liked the animated illustrations, that you used throughout this video Sensei Dan, those were equally amazing and captivating, in helping to further illustrate and accentuate, the narrative of this Goju-Ryu Karate video. I personally found that Mr. Miyagi's former childhood, best friend and then all time nemesis, Mr. Sato from the Karate Kid 2 film (Danny Kamekona), reminded me of Goju-Ryu Karate founder and Grandmaster himself, Miyagi Chojun. I am referring to both men having strong, sharp piercing eyes, as well as their very serious, almost frowning 🙁 facial expression, plus their very solid,robust, strong, physical picture and demeanour.
    I also found it how some Goju-Ryu Karate Organisations, chose to refer to themselves as (剛柔流 空手) Goju-Ryu Karate 'Hard-Soft Karate Style, while others chose the slight variant name of: (剛柔会空手) Goju-Kai Karate 'Hard-Soft Association Karate'! I was definitely intrigued by the fact that both mainland Japanese Goju-Ryu Karate schools, as well as the Goju-Ryu Karate schools in Okinawa are blending each other's approach and slightly different focus or emphasis, to become a more unified and more common, singular style of Karate. If only other martial arts styles of the same origins and lineage would put, their political, bickering differences aside and decided to create a more generally unified style, at least in terms of its curriculum structure. Looking forward to the next episode on Goju-Ryu Karate Sensei Dan, very grateful to your team at the Art of One Dojo, as well as the two Goju-Ryu Karate Senseis who assisted you in this academic, research odyssey on Goju-Ryu Karate, Osu!🇲🇽🇦🇺🥋🙏

By your ludicrous logic you Japanese and Chinese 李 (り) リ pronounced 'Ri' in Japanese should both not be pronouncing it exactly the same?

    I used to study Shodokan Goju Ryu karate as a kid. I didn't learn much, because I sadly had to move, but man, there's still some small aspects of the philosophy and minor movements that I definitely recognize. I honestly didn't know how good I had it and while I have trained in Tae Kwon Do since then, I still really miss the philosophical and patient nature of goju ryu. I know it might not be for everyone, but of almost all the things that I have tried in this world, surprisingly, none gave me as much peace as goju ryu karate. I really did not know how good I had it and I'd love to pick it up again. Maybe not for everyone if they aren't into patience, stillness, philosophy, and tradition, but I always appreciated its more holisitic nature compared to other martial arts that I have studied that were a bit more focused on sport/explosiveness. I always wondered why I felt, but didn't entirely know how I had learned an admittedly simple judo move from karate as a kid. It always confused me because I thought of them as completely separate martial arts, but it really makes sense now that I've seen it again. Also, the dedication to that leg stance. I always remembered finding it frustrating to maintain, but after seeing goju ryu, it does kind of make sense that seems to be very much a part of that style. Really brings back some good memories. I hope that I can find a dojo with the same karate style again. Looking into this has really made me appreciate just how diverse karate styles are. They seem to have a lot more variation than I remembered.

In fact our dojo maintained many of the old Japanese traditions such as bowing into/out of the dojo and knuckle push ups as a disciplinary/conditioning method. Thank you for this video I'm just sorry I'm 2 years late to the party.

    This video is from a year ago. But I wanted to express my appreciation in learning Karate's History. Most notably that many Teachers sought to learn Chinese Kung Fu, and came back with something work with on their own. Learning that that Goju Ryu is more close quartered in combat much like the Style of Kung Fu I practice today. We also have "Sequences" for Combat Application, or Kata as it is know in Karate and we Spar using those Sequences, not sure who keeps snuffing Kata's, but doing so to me means you are not learning the techniques required to be applied in sparring and combat, or your just lazy. I was a Shotokan Student in my early twenties thus I understand that school of thought as well. Keep up the outstanding work in keeping all these Schools History alive. I really enjoyed this video.

    Sometimes directional change is added to increase the healthcare mechanism. so when you change the direction, your hip would rotate and without intentionally you would use it.
    Sometimes, even you train the martial art all day, you are end up not moving your hip because there is no need to rotate it in the practice. but if the directional change is added, you would use the hip rotation everyday
